Ilkley Riverside Gardens Walk River Wharfe Yorkshire Dales Virtual Tour 4K UK
Ilkley Riverside Gardens Information:
Riverside Gardens is just a short walk from the bustling picturesque village of Ilkley. Running alongside the beautiful River Wharfe, the park is lined with lush trees and in the summer months, it’s bursting with brightly coloured flower beds.
The star of the show is the newly renovated play area, providing a variety of equipment suitable for a broad age group.
Visitors come from all over West Yorkshire to picnic and play games on the large greens or enjoy a stroll along with bench-lined walkways.
Play area
In 2022 the play area underwent a redevelopment with the aim of providing a wide variety of play experiences for children of all ages.
Surrounded by fences for safety, the area includes a toddler play zone, a natural play area, shell and duo swings, ‘spicas’ and ‘we-hoppers’ for rocking and spinning, an accessible roundabout, a multi-seesaw, sensory play, two racing zip-wires, and an agility trail with balancing and adventure elements. The play equipment and features are all inspired by the local landscape, with river-themed graphics throughout.
Skate park
The well-maintained park provides a safe and fun environment for skateboarders and BMXers of all skill levels to practice their tricks.
